igh.A dude from Charter showed up today and told me that my DVR is screwing up. I hadn't noticed anything. But he said that they get reports back to tell them how the signal reception is, and mine is low. Or something. I don't speak Cable Company.
There are ONLY2 good things about this:
1) The new DVRs have way more memory, so I will be able to save an entire season of House without buying an external Hard Drive.
2) I found out that Flavor Flav (My neighbor) knows the dude, so I can knock on Flav's door if I ever have any problems and I won't have to wait a week for a service call.
The bad things are:
- I have about 170 series scheduled to record and half of them aren't airing now, so I can't schedule all of them.
- All the House episodes & the movie "The Host" that I've been saving will be gone with the old DVR
- I can't search for an actor's name on the new DVR. So I won't be able to see if Cary Grant or Hugh Laurie are coming on anything that I haven't before seen (Like The Tonight Show).
- My News Ticker will not be on the new DVR.
*cries*
I HATE the new DVR. I have put up with getting 4 (or 5) different DVRs of the same model because I hate it so much.
Whatever, here are this week's High Fives. I tried not to put too many about Obama on the list in deference to my GOP readers. (See, I can be considerate if I want to...once or twice a year.)
Skirmisher for this article. Cool! :-)Mom Wannabe for "I am so sad ". Thank God I live in America. I can't believe this shit is going on in other parts of the world. Actually, I can. I think girls are still being circumsized in some African countries, so this shouldn't be so shocking and disappointing to me. :-(
Jokes @ jDonuts for Suicide Hotline. Dayum, this is funny in a very sick way, LOL.
Casto Creations for Can I have too many T-shirts?
Blogster's Guild for President Garth Barack Obama Wins.
Steven Humour for "Here's something we all need". Ridiculous.My thoughts on Stuff for "My thoughts on Barack Obama's Victory". There is some language that might be offensive to some people. You have been warned.
Amy Oops for "Fail" and "Funny Plates".Kateedyd What? for "Post Halloween". Those are some awesome pumpkins!
This last one is not a blog, but I thought it was cool anyway. Just look at how many headlines Barack Obama got on Wednesday. Digg it if you like it! :-)
Thank you for the five Angie!
ReplyDeletehi Angie, this is very nice of you. thanks!

You're saying the Angie was spontaneous? That's crazy!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I didn't know about the Archibald Leach fetish.
People - Yes. Clearly I cannot give High 5s to people who don't even know my name. OMG. It's right there in the header...
ReplyDeleteTotal Flyby with the Archibald Leach reference.
Thanks so much for featuring my post here Angelika. I have read about women Circumsation on the novel White Masai - that's really just cruel.
ReplyDeleteI am glad too that I have been lucky till now.
It's funny how people call you Angie when you've said it already on top that your name is NOT Angie;)
Hope you have a great weekend!
Jade - I decided to add the "my name is not Angie" yesterday after 2 people called me Angie here.
ReplyDeleteIt's happened before, but it was a long time ago.
Angie? ANGIE? WTH?!? That has never even crossed my mind. Ang maybe. But only 'cause I'm lazy. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to me. :) I love t-shirts!!!
Casto - That's what I'm saying. WHY would anyone think I wanted to be called Angie when Angelika is the name all over this blog?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I knew about Hugh Laurie. This one is hard to miss. But I was talking about Kerry Grant.
ReplyDeletePeople - Cary Grant? Hell YEAH! ;-)
